Okeetee Mother, Are babies okeetee?

I have a lovely clutch of amel and Ultramel corn snakes from a reverse okeetee mother and a non-okeetee (as far as I’m aware) father. I’m not listing them as okeetee, but I was wondering if someone who is more of an expert could tell me if these would qualify. They are 2 week old hatchlings. Here’s a few of them.

Pretty! Congrats. The third and fourth ones maaaaybe have thick enough borders to call them Okeetee (phase). But I probably wouldn’t. :slight_smile:

They are cool! I agree that a few are borderline. But I would label them all as “from okeetee lineage” or something to that effect.

Thank you all who replied! I am very happy with this clutch (19/20 eggs hatched, all but one eating, genetic tests came back 13 females, 5 males, and 1 tbd)

Those stats are fantastic! I imagine you are happy with so many females right?

Yes! Made it hard to decide which to keep

Congratulations on a nice, big, healthy clutch of pretty babies!

I’m agreeing that I would not label those as reverse Oketee. Their borders aren’t especially wide now, and borders typically get a bit thinner as they grow into adulthood.

This is a great idea. :+1:
